Hainbach x Nebula Instruments :: Circle of Violence EP (Self Released)
The sacrament of music is universal, presented here with no words, no specific belief system, no dogma, just a moment in time with two guys who were hanging out together in an otherwise empty church making the whole place resonate and respond with otherworldly vibrations.
Jo Johnson :: Let Go Your Fear (Castles In Space)
The merge between synthesizers and the ethereal new age do make up for an interesting combination, one that always remains comfortable throughout the album; when they’re there, the arpeggiated synths give an interesting edge to the compositions, making them a bit more corpulent.
Maes Y Circles :: Maes Y Circles (GOTO)
Maes Y Circles’ self-titled album is a solid work with some great tracks. Audio technology is showcased, but because the sounds are of a vintage quality hearkening back to musicians such as Tangerine Dream and Vangelis.
BUNKR :: Antenne (VLSI)
Antenne effortlessly maps a new direction for saccharine synth-infused electronica while feeling like a call to the nostalgia and perplexing soundscapes from a few decades ago.
4T Thieves :: Tone EP (Kahvi Collective)
Tone is a relaxed and effective set of tones’n drones offering a panorama of deep ambient-electronica paths by one of our favorite musical sculptors.
David Douglas & Applescal :: Démarrage (Atomnation)
Two highly acclaimed figures of IDM, downtempo, synth, and post-techno music join forces to release a puzzling album of hyperactive grooves and hypnotic pulses seconded by soothing ambient moves. The thematic background leads the listener into the modern-era of cycling and in particular the Tour de France’s epic sport adventure.
Scanner :: The Phenol Tapes (Alltagsmuzik)
The whole of The Phenol Tapes is a deep journey into the interior of Scanner’s creative mind as well as the lands of Captiva Island and comes highly recommended.
Brighten The Corner :: All of My Faults Laid Bare (Labile)
Globally, All of My Faults Laid Bare demonstrates a strong use of meandering synthesized textures with looped sequences, softly moving in deep space.
Mike Gale :: Hey Presto (Self Released)
Mike Gale’s Hey Presto, a lightened long-player that tip-toes between lounge, downtempo, shoegaze, and laid-back soundscapes that are cool to the touch, was released in April 2024.
Hitori Tori :: Signals From The Uncharted Expanse EP (Satellite Era)
The high-octane drill’n bass maestro keeps pushing the envelope, incorporating sandblasted acid-electronics and off-center rhythms in this heavyweight five pack manifest.
